The last month has been very busy and exciting for the team on our work with MHI Vestas Offshore Wind to deliver their Parliamentary Blades Project. The project works with Parliamentarians across the UK to champion recent successes in British advanced manufacturing, engineering and technology within the offshore wind sector. In the last couple of days we successfully launched the "Brand the Blades" schools competition. The competition was designed by Into the Blue to help communicate to young people how electricity is generated by offshore wind turbines and the importance of renewable energy, in particular, offshore wind power. Engaging this younger generation in relation to this exciting sustainable low carbon UK business sector, and the underlying engineering, technology and advanced manufacturing, is designed to inspire the advanced manufacturers, engineers, MPs and business leaders of tomorrow.

It was, therefore, even more poignant to see the highest number of females ever in this cohort. Take a look at this article by us on the Superyacht News on this increased interest from female candidates for UKSA's industry leading course.
